well.”
Dave sat back overwhelmed with
this news, he didn’t know how to feel. He was more confused than
anything else. Was his mum alive?
Officer Stephens went on to
explain that the most likely reason for the pigs blood was to make
it look like the victims had in fact been murdered in their homes
and then the bodies taken away. Perhaps who ever had done this
wasn’t very intelligent and they didn’t know about the capabilities
of police investigation teams and scientists now a days. Maybe they
didn’t know that these teams would be able to tell where the blood
had come from almost immediately. Or maybe they had done this to
shock people. Maybe they were one of those crazed attention seeking
criminals and wanted their story plastered all over the paper. None
of this mattered, what mattered was there was a chance that Dave’s
mum was alive and they were going to find her.
Dave was told that his house had
been cleaned now, well they said cleaned, what they made was it
wasn’t covered from head to toe in pigs blood anymore. He could
return home when he liked.
He returned home the next day,
he was under strict instruction from Officer Stephens not to be
straying too far away, he was still a suspect and he had to be
readily contactable for more questions at any time. Dave had no
intention of going anywhere, his mum was alive, he had to find her.
The only thing he had to go on was that whoever had taken Lisa had
come back to take his mum, so there was a chance, hopefully a big
chance that they would come back for their next victim. Dave just
had to make sure he was around when they did.
He didn’t bother to tidy any of
the mess that was left, the furniture had been thrown around but
besides that the place didn’t look too much different from before,
the blood was gone and that’s all Dave was concerned about. OK now
he just had to wait, when this sick psycho came back Dave would be
waiting for him. He was going to find his mum.
Chapter 12
No more sleeping pills. That was
Dave’s first decision. If this person or thing came back, he
wanted to make sure that he was ready for it. It had been to his
neighbours house and then his, he was sure that it would come back
to another house close by. If he was awake every night, stayed
really quiet and kept a look out. He would be able to catch this
thing. He decided to stock up on coffee, energy drinks, milk and
cereal. The stimulants could keep him awake through the night, the
cereal and milk gave him food when ever needed. He didn’t need to
leave his post (a chair by the window) to have to go and cook food.
Cereal was quick and easy. Coincidently it was also cheap and with
mum not around Dave didn’t have much money.
With his supplies at the ready
he spent his first night sitting up, waiting. It was a really long
night. Dave had underestimated just how difficult it would be to
sit in silence waiting for the whole night. He had gone through a
ridiculous amount of coffee, at least ten cups and he had gone
through three energy drinks. Still he felt like he was going to
fall asleep. By 3am he did.
This wasn’t going to work. He
needed to change his approach.
He decided to sleep through the
day, he knew that this thing wasn’t going to come and take people
while it was still light. So he allocated himself the hours between
10am and 7pm to sleep. That gave him a good six to nine hours sleep
depending on how easily he went off. Then he would be set to sit up
for the night, he wouldn’t be anywhere near as tired. It still
wouldn’t be enough though, he needed something to hold his
attention. He couldn’t have the TV on, apart from the fact that it
would distract him from his “guard duty”, the noise from it might
make him miss anything that was going on outside.
Books were the answer, he could
sit in silence reading a book, it would hold his attention more
than staring
